I just want to live a happy life

Guan Juer and Qu Xiaoxiao went to the north square of the train station and asked the patrolmen driving there. They learned that if they had nowhere to go, they would usually stay in the underground passage.

It's cold at night now, and it's warmer in the underground passage than anywhere else.

So, the two of them ran to the underground passage again, where there were many people. Some were resting with their luggage in their hands, while others were sleeping directly on the ground with quilts or something.

Guan Juer glanced at the people on both sides and saw Fan's father and mother and Fan Shengmei's nephew Lei Lei standing in a corner. Although there were no photos of the two people, they were easy to recognize. After all, they were the only two people here with a child.

Guan Juer pulled Qu Xiaoxiao, who was looking to the other side, over and said, "Look, are those the people Sister Fan is looking for?"

Qu Xiaoxiao looked in the direction of her gaze: "Well, that should be it."

After asking Fan's mother for confirmation, Guan Juer called Qiu Yingying and asked her to tell Sister Fan.

About ten minutes later, Fan Shengmei and Qiu Yingying came over.

"Dad, Mom, why are you here? Are you cold?" Fan Shengmei asked anxiously.

Father Fan didn't say anything. Mother Fan had a stern face and said in a very bad tone: "I didn't, but your father and Lei Lei were freezing for most of the day. Why did you come at such a late hour?"

Fan Shengmei frowned: "Mom, you came too suddenly, and the train station is so big, how can I find you immediately?"

Looking at Guan Juer and the other two standing by, she didn't want to expose her family's affairs to them, so she urged them, "It's too late now. Let's go back and talk about it."

Several people arrived at Guan Juer's car. There were seven of them in total, and one car was not enough.

Guan Juer looked at Fan Shengmei and said, "Sister Fan, I only have one car and it can't accommodate seven people. Otherwise, you can call another taxi."

Fan Shengmei naturally agreed. She couldn't just come to help her and put others in an unfair position.

So, Fan Shengmei borrowed Qiu Yingying's phone and called a car on the platform. As for the car fare, she returned it to Qiu Yingying when she returned to Ode to Joy.

Fan's mother was standing behind Fan Shengmei and heard their conversation. She muttered quietly, "Why can't there be a seat? Just squeeze in. It's just stingy."

Fan's mother was very dissatisfied. She had already regarded Fan Shengmei's money as her own. Even if the taxi fare did not really come from her pocket, it was still her money.

Shanghai is a big city with a rich nightlife. There are many people on the streets and in the shops in the early morning, so you can naturally call a taxi.

On the way back, just like when they came, Qu Xiaoxiao and Qiu Yingying took her car, while Fan Shengmei took a taxi with her family.

Unlike the original plot, seven people were squeezed into Qu Xiaoxiao's car.

Although Qu Xiaoxiao was born into a wealthy family, her family was complicated. In order to perform well in front of her father and get more of the family property, she deliberately acted "people-friendly", so she only had a Volkswagen Polo. The car was small, and you can imagine how uncomfortable the way back was. Not only was it crowded, but she also had to listen to Fan's mother's chattering all the way, and she was never at peace.

When I arrived at Ode to Joy and just stepped out of the elevator, I received a call from Cheng Ting.

Before Guan Juer could speak, Cheng Ting's anxious voice came: "Guan Guan, why didn't I see you when I came back? Where did you go?"

At this time, Cheng Ting, who had just finished work, saw that the light in the bedroom was on and a corner of the quilt was lifted up, but there was no sign of Guan Juer. Thinking that she had gone to the bathroom, he put the midnight snack he bought on the table, waiting for her to come out and eat with her.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for a few minutes, she still showed no sign of coming out. Cheng Ting then realized something was wrong and quickly called her to find out where she was.

Guan Juer stood in the corridor: "I'm in Ode to Joy now. A friend of mine had a problem. I'm here to help. Don't worry. I'll be back soon."

"It's so late now, I'm worried about you coming back alone. Please wait there for a while, I'll pick you up soon." After saying that, Cheng Ting hung up the phone without giving Guan Juer a chance to refuse.

Cheng Ting picked up his keys and cell phone and was about to go out, but after thinking for a while, he turned back and took a thick coat from the closet before going out.

Hearing the hang-up sound on the phone, Guan Juer was stunned for a moment, then chuckled.

At 2202, the main door was open. When we went in, we saw chaos inside.

Lei Lei was jumping up and down in the living room. Fan's father should be in the bathroom at this time, and he could be heard coughing from time to time.

Fan's mother stood in Fan Shengmei's room and spoke very loudly, and they had no choice but to hear her.

Fan's mother kept nagging, saying that Fan Shengmei bought too many clothes, and that the Fan family had a grandson and needed her to subsidize her brother's family.

Occasionally, Fan Shengmei's aggrieved voice could be heard, saying that half of her salary was given to you every month and she had already spent very little.

Qu Xiaoxiao was amazed when she heard this. She leaned close to Guan Juer's ear and said, "I really didn't expect Sister Fan to have such parents. I don't know how Sister Fan lived in such a family since she was a child."

She thought her family was complicated enough, and Sister Fan's family was no worse, or even worse. At least she had never lacked money. But seeing how Fan's mother favored boys over girls, she knew without thinking that Fan Shengmei was not treated well at home.

Suddenly, Qu Xiaoxiao seemed to understand how Fan Shengmei's character was formed, and she no longer hated her materialism and vanity so much.

It's even a bit of a pity. If Fan Shengmei didn't have such a family, with her abilities, her life would be much better than it is now.

Qiu Yingying sat on the sofa, looking at the scene in front of her, but an ominous premonition arose in her heart.

Ever since Guan Juer moved out, she and Sister Fan are the only ones left in 2202. But now her family has arrived in Shanghai and must be living here too. Judging from the way her family behaves, she won't have any quiet time in Ode to Joy during this period.

Guan Juer glanced at the time and saw that Cheng Ting should be here soon. She walked over to Qiu Yingying and said, "Little earthworm, I'm leaving first. You should go and get some rest as well. It's already very late."

Qiu Yingying stood up from the sofa, took Guan Juer's hand, and said apologetically: "Guan Guan, I'm sorry to bother you today."

Guan Juer smiled and shook her head: "It's okay, we are friends, it's my duty to help each other. When Sister Fan is done, tell her for me, and I won't disturb her."

"it is good."

After sending Guan Juer into the elevator, Qiu Yingying came back and saw Lei Lei standing on the sofa, stepping on it. She widened her eyes and wanted to pinch her philtrum desperately.

When she left the community, she saw Cheng Ting waiting for her. When he saw her come out, he immediately walked over and put the thick coat he brought on her.

"No, I'm not cold now, and the car is only a few steps away, so there's really no need."

“Even if it’s just a few steps, you have to wear it.”

Normally Cheng Ting would give in to her in everything, but now he would not allow her to refuse. It was already very late and cold at night. If she didn't wear something thicker, she would easily catch a cold.

Guan Juer couldn't persuade him, so she had to put on the coat he brought, and then he carried her into the car.
